Checking Page Counts

The total number of printed pages can be checked by printing a System Settings page. The total
number of printed pages is shown on the Print Volume section, classified by paper sizes.
Single side print (including N-Up) is counted as one job, and 2-sided print (including N-Up) is
counted as two. During 2-sided printing, if an error occurs after one side is printed properly, it is
counted as one.
When doing 2-sided printing, a blank page may be inserted automatically depending on the settings of
the application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page. However, when doing 2-sided
printing for odd number of pages, the blank page inserted to the rear side of the last odd page is not
counted.
Note:
Refer to "Printing a System Settings Page" on page 52 for details on how to print a System Settings page.
